Chapter 303 Good boy, has a future!
Gu Da saw the danger of the current situation and didn't want to take any risks.

He felt that the strength of the Han army's iron cavalry was a bit unexpected. Perhaps what should be done at this time is to consider how to retreat, rather than a full-scale decisive battle with it.

In this situation, it is obvious that the Xianbei side has lost the wind.

But thinking of the fate of that unlucky guy before, Gu Da didn't dare to disobey Zhi Jian Luo Luo's order, so he could only bite the bullet and lead his troops forward.

"Behead one Han soldier, reward three sheep! Kill one Han general, reward three horses!"

In order to boost morale, Gu Da decided to use the strategy of generous rewards. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under great rewards. Gu Da believes that his big rewards will definitely boost morale.

It is true that heavy rewards can boost morale, but it is difficult to make up for the absolute gap in strength.

The counterattack organized by Guda hadn't taken shape yet, the Han cavalry of Xu Huang's unit had already charged in front of them, Xu Huang came from the side and directly inserted into the flank of Guda's unit, Guda's unit was caught off guard and was caught by Xu Huang All the troops killed people on their backs.

Gu Da tried to stop Xu Huang's attack, and personally led people to counterattack Xu Huang. As a result, the huge gap between the Xianbei cavalry and the Han army's equipment was reflected, and they were chopped off one by one, like ice hitting a rock. It was smashed to pieces.

Xu Huang, who really wanted to make a contribution, looked at a burly man who was obviously dressed differently from the others not far away. He roared and charged forward with his spear straightened. The cavalry guards opened the way for him. He stepped forward bravely, and with a spear, he dismounted the panic-stricken burly man.

Gu Da was stabbed to death by Xu Huang's spear.

Zhi Jian Luo Luo never expected that Gu Da would be pierced through the formation by the Han army before he persisted for a long time, and the counterattack was declared a failure. At this moment, no matter how unwilling Zhi Jian Luo Luo was to admit it, he also realized that he might not be The opponent of this Han cavalry.

Damn it, when did the Han army become so capable?

How did Tan Shihuai defeat such fierce tens of thousands of Han cavalry back then?

Despite this, Zhijian Luoluo gritted his teeth and joined the most elite cavalry around him, trying to reverse the situation of the battle.

He couldn't accept his own failure.

Once it fails, it's all over.

He still wanted to persist, but the Han army was too brave.

When he watched the army he invested in disappear like a piss into a river, his confidence collapsed. Seeing the cavalry of the Han army pouring in like a tide, he panicked and wanted to survive. his brain.

He didn't have time to think, turned around and rode away, regardless of the life and death of the Xianbei cavalry who were still fighting hard behind him.

Needless to say, the subsequent battle situation.

The Han army originally had an advantage in numbers and equipment. When they swarmed up, the morale of the Xianbei people also collapsed. They fled collectively and galloped desperately.

But Liu Bei made up his mind to make these bastards pay the price, and he would not let them go at all, and ordered to hunt them down fiercely.

Liu Bei himself led his army in pursuit for more than half a day, changed three horses, chased and killed all the way, and finally caught up with the burly man in extraordinary clothes.

Chasing at the front, he shot Zhijian Luoluo off his horse with an arrow. When he got closer, he saw that this guy could still stare and pant. He told Liu Bei this matter, and then handed Liu Bei his spear.

"Didn't you kill him yourself?"

Liu Bei looked at Qianzhao with a smile.

Qianzhao also smiled, and blinked at Liu Bei.

"The reward I can get for killing him, how can I get more rewards than the reward for killing him?"

Liu Bei looked at Qianzhao a few times, smiled and punched him in the chest.

"Good boy, you know how to please the chief, you have a future!"

Qianzhao, who had obviously grown up, laughed even more happily.

As he spoke, Liu Bei rode his horse forward and came to the side of Zhijian Luoluo, who was lying on the ground, staring and gasping for breath. He condescended to examine the big man who was about to die, sneered, and pierced his eyes with a spear.

For this kind of defeated enemy, you don't need to say a word, just kill it.

Qianzhao dismounted immediately, drew out the ring head knife, cut off Zhi Jian Luo Luo's fat head, and handed it to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei held the key and Luo Na's head, which was still dripping with blood, held it up high.

The soldiers who followed him cheered loudly, praising Liu Bei's illustrious martial arts and brilliant victory.

One day later, Liu Bei's army wiped out a few scattered Xianbei cavalry in Jiuquan County, and gained about 1 good horses and more than [-] wounded and dead horses.

The Xianbei people obtained more than 5 cattle and sheep for rations with the army, and the rest of the property they looted also became the spoils of war of the Han army.

More than 5000 men, women, old and children who were captured by them and prepared to be slaves were also rescued by the Han army.

Pang De and Xu Huang made the greatest contribution in this battle and were praised by Liu Bei.

It is also worth mentioning that Cao Chun, a spirited young man who is currently serving as a small officer under Xu Huang's command, was lucky. He stabbed Gu Da's lieutenant to death with a spear, beheaded him, and made a contribution.

I have to say that the spirited guy is really capable.

In addition, there are many people who have made great military exploits.

Cao Chun's elder brother, Cao Renrui, was unstoppable. He galloped on horseback, stabbed with a spear, and killed Saiduluo, a trusted general under Zhijian Luoluo's command.

Not to be outdone, General Cheng Pu led his troops to attack Zhi Jian Luo Luo's central army, almost broke through the defense, and hacked to death another member of Zhi Jian Luo Luo's command, the fierce general Qiu Bao.

A village chief named Yan Xing was eye-catching in the battle. In addition to beheading a Xianbei general, he also captured a Xianbei general alive.

A military marquis named Ma Teng performed outstandingly in the battle, beheaded a Xianbei general, and also captured a flag used by Zhijian Luoluo, majestic and majestic.

After the war, Liu Bei summoned these military officers who made military exploits and encouraged them face to face.

This was also the first time Liu Bei saw Yan Xing and Ma Teng.

Yan Xing's appearance is not outstanding, but he is tall and strong, and he looks like a strong young man at first glance.

Ma Teng was not as tall as Yan Xing, but he had a handsome appearance, a resonant voice, and a solid figure, which made him look quite extraordinary.

Liu Bei was very happy, so he promoted the two of them to be the army commanders together. The two were overjoyed and thanked Liu Bei.

Subsequently, Liu Bei ordered to deal with dead and wounded horses according to the previous model, so as to increase the conquest rations that the Han army could use later.

As for the more than 6000 captured Xianbei cavalry, Liu Bei wanted to kill them all and use them to build a Beijing temple to deter Xianbei, but Jia Xu dissuaded Liu Bei and came up with a suggestion.

"The heads used to build the Beijing Temple are enough. Now there are more than 1 heads. It doesn't make much sense to continue killing. It's better to use these people as coolies. It's more useful to be alive than dead."

Liu Bei thought about it and felt that Jia Xu's suggestion made sense.

In order to promote agricultural production and cooperate with the construction of collective farms, Liangzhou currently has dozens of water conservancy projects planned.

But most of the people are engaged in agricultural production and industrial production. He heard that the manpower available for mobilization in the state capital is very tight. The agricultural production side needs a lot of manpower, and there is a bit of a labor shortage.

So instead of killing these people and giving them a good time, it is better to let these people do coolies, let them work until they die, and reduce the burden of corvee for the people of Liangzhou.

So Liu Bei accepted Jia Xu's suggestion.

He ordered more than 6000 captured Xianbei men to be escorted back to Hanyang County, where they began to work hard, repair water conservancy projects, let them work until they died, and squeeze out their last remaining value.

Perhaps the light from the civilized world should also shine on the Xianbei people.
